He's getting more active again, doing the media rounds and the like. How's everyone feeling about the dude?
I will say, despite his bumbling retard routine, I find him ridiculously charismatic if nothing else. Even if I don't agree with him on something, I can often appreciate how he says it. I've criticized him for it for years, but I just wish he'd be a bit more clear, so people who aren't in the know actually understand what he's talking about, but perhaps it's part of his act. Say something true, but in such a way that it just seems stupid, get the media to focus on it. Seems to have worked for him for many years.
Did people listen to his recent interview with Kristen Welker? She did the standard "get Trump" routine and, as per tradition, largely just got Trumped.
I wish we had better options, but I personally think Trump is far from the worst.
So, yeah, how are people feeling about Trump?
There's too much for me to write it all out, but the simple distillation is: The establishment hates him, so my simple brain likes him. I want an outsider to win vs the uniparty.
This is how I feel too. That they hate him so much is a good sign and that they've gone so far with all the indictments and other bullshit makes me think it's not kayfabe either.
I want a revenge term. Now that he knows just how far they will go.
It's not a 100% heuristic but 95% is more than enough in these cases.
Haven't been paying much attention, but my opinion since 2021 hasn't changed:
He's not perfect, but he's definitely the best we've had in so long its not even funny.
Everyone else is largely a meme or a snake, or both. Plus I appreciate what he's done and has been doing, even if there's some failures and bad decisions.
His behavior in 2020 with the whole pro-vaccine rhetoric, the January 6th bait and switch on his supporters, inability to stop the fraud, and still having so many snakes working under him by the time he was out (largely thanks to said snakes), and his overall behavior changes disappointed me, but there's a lot of people who did not expect how bad things would really get in that year (and just in general with the establishment).
Trump was still too naive even after 3-4 years; hopefully he's learned something as a person can only be bitten by snakes so many times before he either succumbs to the venom, or builds up enough resistance to crush them without fear, and I'm concerned it might end up being the former than the latter.
Which is a damn shame. In theory Vivek is kind of great. In practice, uh, I'm glad you're there saying what you're saying, but as far as the office goes...you can fuck right off, dude.
Because Rand Paul will NEVER be allowed to get the nomination and I cannot resurrect George Washington, Trump is the best we have to throw a wrench in the system so bad it breaks the cogs.
His 2016 presidency is evidence of that, I firmly believe if he didn't get in, we wouldn't been able to oppose lockdowns and vaccines as much as we had and may still be in lockdowns right now. He's flawed but he retains the principle of legacy so I believe he's trying his best as he wants to be remembered fondly as president not use it for self enrichment.
Personally, I think if we hadn't committed the horrible betrayal of interrupting "the plan" of getting Hillary elected so they could continue their march, then Covid likely wouldn't have happened to begin with. It would have still got out, as I think that was entirely just happenstance, but it being a thing that required a response wouldn't have. As they wouldn't have needed it to ensure their 2020 victory.
Instead we would have just been boiled even harder with a lot more subtle oppression taking place.
I think covid was ALWAYS the plan, but Trump's screwing with the system pushed the plan forward to get 2020. It was always the plan for a pandemic to increase powers but Trump's presence forced to happen too early.
I don't think Covid was the plan because it seems to have been a genuinely accidental release. That being said, there's no downside to exploiting it. Killing off your population reduces the effects of your inflated currency. Best of all, if it kills off the old people, you can buy up their property and never pay out pensions.
This is why they want a war or a nuclear exchange. Kill off the people, and you can mitigate the effects of printing money. The fear of war can also guarantee your position of power and centralize your control.
I'm not convinced it was an accident given how coordinated the response was, or how there is that video of Gates and his cronies planning for exactly such a scenario like a year or so earlier. It's also rather suspicious how the outbreak conveniently allowed China to quash the Hong Kong protests without any international hoopla.
In fairness, the Chinese pay for the media. The press wouldn't have said shit about them running people over with tanks. This ain't 1989.
It's possible that it was an intentional leak, but you don't intentionally leak a bio-weapon. You just release it, and Covid-19 didn't have a proper delivery mechanism yet because it was still being studied.
I think it was a genuine accidental release, who's consequences were seen as an opportunity.
And if you recall, there seemed to be genuine panic among the elites regarding it, because it actually effected everyone, including the elites because some countries top leaders and diplomats not only got sick, but actually died.
If it was an intentional release, a lot of people weren't prepared or told
Besides, quashing the protests is less of a concern to China than killing off it's pensioner population that would have needed to be paid out.
I didn't believe it at the time, but if Hillary had won, we'd have 50,000 American dead in a war with Russia right now, that we would be losing.
More than a few Republicans would have been arrested for "Assisting in the Trump Insurrection that was sponsored by Putin to disrupt our defense of Ukraine".
That's assuming we wouldn't have already had a nuclear exchange. I honestly think that Putin is the only one trying to avoid a nuclear exchange with the US. 50 million American dead would be seen as a net positive to our Fabian Socialist overlords.
Speaking of Rand Paul, this time around the VP is of much greater importance, because the chances that he will die (of natural causes or otherwise) is much greater than before.
We don't need nitwits like Nikki Haley or Tim Scott. Ideally, he'd pick Rand Paul, but he has the charisma of a potato.
I'm still for Alex Jones as VP, we need someone so TERRIFYING for the deep state to get the presidential powers they'll call off every JFK event planned.
That's what I said!
"We can't kill Trump. This is like what happened when McKinley was shot and Theodore Roosevelt took over."
I disagree with Rand Paul (frankly we need him as Senate Majority/Minority leader), and I oppose Kari Lake for the VP position too, even though she's likely to have it.
I want someone up there that would scare the shit out of them so much they wouldn't dare assassinate Trump. I want Trump's VP to be an absolute fucking hell-raiser. Someone who will publicly say, "If the president dies, they'd better kill me soon afterwards, because if they don't, I'll destroy them." I want someone who's fucking livid. I want him to quote Evola on occasion.
Problem is, I have no idea who the hell that would be. You'd have to pull something crazy at this point. You'd have to make Dave Smith the VP, or Alex Jones, or Nema Parvini. Someone who will actually seek to destroy the political Left. Someone who will not be elected in 2028 because he seems to unstable, so they put Lake in instead.
This is why I want Larry Elder. He'd fucking destroy them, but he'd do it with an eloquent smile.
The only blacker white supremacist is Thomas Sowell himself.
I hope he put that LA Times article, framed, on his wall.
Glad to see Rand Paul’s name. I originally supported him in 2016 before he dropped out.
That's a weird way to spell James Madison.
I might just write in Goldwater/Coolidge.
We're in the middle of a communist revolution in the US and the only person who can even theoretically fill the role of leader of the White Army is Trump. Nothing else matters in the presidential race. You can do your own research and pick your pet issues for local elections, and you should, but there's no argument you can make for Tim Scott or Nikki Haley. DeSantis's campaign is a walking corpse.
Trump is the legitimate President of the United States. Everyone in the Biden administration is a traitor, and they deserve the fate of all traitors.
Based and correct.
Interviewers always seem to be debating Trump.
I generally like how he's handled things, with a few exceptions. One is criticizing DeSantis for the best thing he did, smashing Disney. Two is not being able to answer if you can change gender. Three is his focus on 2020.
If you listen to him in a friendly interview or better in the leaked tapes he speaks clearly.
This "bumbling retard routine" is a strategy against an entirely hostile media; it's hard to selectively misquote him when there's three different thoughts in one sentence.
Then what happens is instead of accurately quoting him they pretend he said a thing and the (few) people look it up see the media lied about what he said. I'd say Trump's Drunken Fist style is a big part of non-Democrats having sub-10% trust in media.
Disney really didn't get smashed, and the way he did it is going to get the whole thing overturned.
For some reason, a lot of Republicans are trying to swing for the fences in really unsophisticated ways that keeps having them lose ground.
Trump really is one of the only Republicans that actually knows how to win.
trump IS the compromise. they're not ready for who comes next.
Last off ramp they have before the universe respawns The Forbidden One.
A pragmatic solution.
No one but him will manage to gain his massive popularity with the more normie voting population, which means any attempts to resist him will only fracture our side into loses while the Left just follows orders and votes for a head of cabbage in lockstep.
His plans and policies fall far short of what they need to be or I want, but the alternative is a Leftist who is even worse in that regard and won't even accidentally do something positive like he might.
So, as long as we are playing by "the rules" he is basically the only shot and name worth supporting until he retires and hands off his crowd to some successor. Which, its not like voting takes anything but a small amount of time so that "support" isn't some commitment like people treat it when that squabble over him not being perfect to them.
I won't go through all the issues, but the bottom line is that despite his faults, Trump actually wants to help Americans and wants to stop us from being used as the world's piggy bank. He's got my vote for sure.
But the globalist elite despise him and they're going to jail or kill him so I'm not sure it really matters.
My thoughts on Trump?
The best is yet to come.
Save this comment.
I just did.
I will check back on you each year for progress.
Still funny and most likely to win so I'm voting for him.
I've said this before, and I will say it again:
Trump is my holy hand grenade, my bull in their china shop. He is my chosen form of the destructor. He is my fuck you vote.
I don't expect anything else out of him, just like I didn't expect anything more in 2016.
The fuck you vote speech is the best thing Michael Moore has ever done.
Agreed. I wonder sometimes if he is aware of what he did with that...
I think its pretty cool that I will be able to say that I have voted for Trump three times and would do it again. Obama tards can't say that.
He's the least bad president we've had in my lifetime. Second place isn't close. I don't trust any of his opponents to not be worse.
He hasn't done anything for the Jan 6th protesters who were arrested.
I'm still not confident he will do enough, but I can't tell if that's because he's hiding his power level, or he's trying to appeal to Democrats a bit.
And before you slam him for that, you do have to accept that one thing is undeniable, and I specifically got proven wrong in my predictions because of it. White Union Democrats turned out less for him in 2020 than they did in 2016. Not by a huge amount, but by enough to absolutely make the race much closer than it should have been. These were Union Dems who were persuaded by Leftist rhetoric, and the promises of the Unions, that the Biden admin would be in their favor; and with the astronomical pressure they got, they bought into it.
Even now, Trump is getting huge support from Zoomers while his Boomer support seems to have cooled. He does have to appeal to Dems, and yes there are some Dems able to be persuaded, and white union voters are one of those. I originally thought that Trump would basically dominate the white vote, and cause massive additional "new voter" or "disaffected voter" turnout, and that happened, but without all the Union members on his side, several states were in far more play than they should have been.
He's clearly made statements about how he's going to be "president for everyone" which is great; but we all miss the fire he had from the 2016 debates where he smashed Jeb.
I think he's been a bit misled on where his support celling is, and he may actually think he needs to win votes in rather unpredictable places just to get around the fraud.
I want to elect Sulla, but I will settle for him breaking some of the institutional power; but this is a generational fight. Even if Trump wins, we've got over a decade of fighting to keep doing; and you'd better fucking believe that if he wins they'll blow up the world economy in front of him.
Like I said, I'd vote for Larry Elder, but 2024 has to be Trump one way or another. Dave Smith is apparently running, and that's great, but I'd rather the Mises Caucus put more work into gaining ground in New Hampshire. A lot of people from Massachusetts have been coming into the state, and they are making it hard-left. If the Republicans get destroyed in NH, and all that remains is the Democrats and the Libertarians, that's still a win overall.
Some people were slamming him for that, but honestly I'm pretty impressed. Also, you have to realize Trump is a massive bullshit artist. I know it's the whole "hahaha, even Trump's supporters think he's a liar" meme, but there's some truth there. Trump says lots of things, not all of them indicative of, well, anything.
So, as much as I often criticize the right attack their opponents on the right from the left, Trump at least executes really well. When he does it, I'm often left feeling more impressed than annoyed. The Kristen Welker thing is a good example; he was asked if he'd sign a 15 week federal abortion ban, and he said something like he'd "get both sides to the table" and bring about "historic peace not seen in fifty years," and "everyone would be happy." It's total bullshit, but it was a much better answer - in my opinion - than answering the question one way or the other.
I saw plenty on the right attacking him for that specifically, but I thought it was pretty genius. He left on the table that he might sign it, but refused to say he would, and dangled some meat for both sides. For better or worse, you can't currently go too hard on abortion, or even the enough of the right will turn on you to hurt you. Which might be stupid, but it seems to be the case. I personally thought he answered the question quite well, in his own supreme bullshitting way.
So, yeah, I agree. As frustrating as it is all these "conservatives" spewing lib talking points, to some extent it's necessary. The first step is getting Trump in office, after all, and everything else comes after that.
I like Trump because he has the power to make liberals hate anything that they currently support, and as everyone has said already, he is a spanner in the cogs of the current political machine. Yes he is controlled opposition, yes he is a puppet, but I want a balkanization of the states and he might trigger enough people to put that on the table as a realistic possibility.
You can't really have that with anyone else because the left is pathologically obssessed with Trump.
The establishment hates him the most, therefore I support him the most.
You get the most flak when you're over the target.
I wish he was anything as based as the media makes him out to be, like you though I'm in the camp of, he's what we got. I feel like if there's one thing we can count on is vengeful Trump is going to be absolute hell for the WEF. It was one thing before where he was happily sitting in the whitehouse twiddling his thumbs like most republicans do.
He does a remarkably good job of hiding it but I think vengeful Trump is going to be our greatest ally compared to egotistical Trump. He's had to put up with all kinds of malicious actions and prosecutions against him by tons of corrupt people in power for the past 4 years.
If he gets in and wins, you can bet your arse he's going at the very least be on the warpath against the people who wronged him which will just so happen to help us out. I hope that's something I can look forward to in 2024 if he can get in, I think as well the leftists are terrified of that which is why they're trying so hard to pin something on him early on.
Enoch Powel isn't as based as they make him out to be. We can only do so much.
My problem with Trump is that he surrounds himself with people who will EASILY backstab him given the chance. If he gets re-elected by some miracle of the establishment underestimating the amount of votes they need to conjure up for Biden, then it will be 4 years of every government institution ignoring any and all policies he pushes forward or actively sabotaging any and all efforts that Trump suggests besides supporting Israel.
I haven't listened to his Tucker interview but I heard a podcast talk about it and he was reflecting on some mistakes and how naive he was towards the depth of the swamp.
It'd be nice if he'd walk back the vaccine stuff but it's probably not going to happen. Hope he wins/doesn't get assassinated.
“Bumbling retard”
Trump may be gullible. But he’s not a retard.
I said "bumbling retard routine." And I stand by that.
Trump is in my opinion very smart...but plays dumb.
Sou desu neeeeeeeee
I’m 50/50 split on DeSantis or Trump. Any DeSantis fans here?
Trump is my guy, but I'd happily vote DeSantis if he were to be nominated.
A shàbbos ġoy that destroys America slightly slower than the communists.
It would be nice if he were competent at implementing his policies and hiring people…
I think Trump doesn't have the capability to fix the USA in a meaningful way.
When I heard that Obama won on election day 2008, I knew right then that the US is unfixable. We are not voting our way out of this.
"What's changed Jesse?"
He's too old and he's not going to hold back the tidal wave but he's the only option on the table so I'l take what I can get. I just hope that the anti-establishment seeds he unwittingly planted bear some formidable fruit in the years to come.
I like him but TBH I don't forgive him for abandoning his loyal fans during their time of need and vanishing for months while his dogwater platform "truth" was being made.
He could've joined gab, or even patriots.win or whatever alt tech there is.
HOWEVER
I believe that if he doesn't win this time, we'll never have a fair election again, ever.
I fear getting Trump in just lends credibility to the entire system and will placate us and let the degeneration ultimately continue.
I'm quite honestly not impressed and prefer somebody else. Even then I'm not even that emotional like I Have TDS. I'm fine with what happens whether Trump wins the election or someone else does.
Was fun and hilarious at first, and was a good wrench in the cogs of globalhomo's plans. Now it's just tiresome and maybe a little annoying, since it's such a radioactive element to deal with.
Trump serves as a target and a universal rallying cry for NPC's to assemble against and he's potentially risking to split the party during the upcoming election. Which wouldn't be a problem if the party wasn't still dominated by RINOs and NeoCons.
And a second run, whether successful or not, is just not going to be anywhere near as funny as the last time.
Says the right things, but hires a bunch of retards who sabotage him, and then turns around and blames them when he's the one who hired them.
